One author who wrote in this form described his native village as a bramble to the touch. That author ruefully characterized his life as changing from an infant bathtub to a burial tub shortly before he died in his friend's warehouse. A sub-genre of this form included such works as the Saga Diary and Hut of the Phantom Dwelling. Many works in this form contain a cutting word and a seasonal reference, both of which are present in those describing a (*) road where nobody else travels and a frog jumping into an old pond. This form was developed in Narrow Road to the Deep North by Matsuo Basho. Fo
